Horrible Deed of q Despondent Mechan-
&c at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. "A terrible
tragedy was enacted in the western por-
ton Of this city last night, the awful re-
suits Of which were not discovered I'M
til 10 o'clock this morning. At that hour
Mrs. Mary Bruner, the mother of Mrs
Charles B. Brownfeld, who lives at 1922
West Chestnut Street, called at the
residence of her daughter, upon
some matters connected with family
affairs. No one answered her ring at
the door bell, and after several inefect-
ual efforts, she went to the window of
the little one-story frame cottage raised
it and threw open the shutters. The
sight that met her eyes was q
horrible one. In the middle of
the door opening between the
room occupied by her daughter and hus-
band and their little daughter of 5 or 10
years, and the one occupied by William
Brownfied, who resided with the fam
lily, was the body of Joseph Brownfeld,
her daughters husband, suspended by
a strap atttched to the Intel and sway
ing to and fro slightly, the features
CHASTITY in death. She aroused the
neighbors who made the following hor-
rible discoveries.
At the suicides back and on bed in q
dark corner reposed the body of VIM.
+. Bruner with his throat cut from ear
to ear. Facing the self-murderer in the
other room was another bed upon which,
stiffened in their blood, were the forms
of his wife and 9-year-old child. Their
heads were almost severed from
their bodies. Beneath Brownfield's
feet lay the razor with which the
awful deeds haL been committed. The
bed clothing was drenched with blood
and the faces of the victims besmeared
SO that they were almost beyond recog-
milton. On the bureau in the parlor the
following letter dated $50 A. NJ, and
written by the murderer in an unusual
ly legible hand, was found:
TO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN: I
Charles B. Brownfeld, murdered my
dear wife and baby, also W. F. Bruner,
my brother-in-law. I killed my wife
and baby because | was tired of life and
did not want them left penniless in the
world and no one to care for them. Ny
cause for being tired Of life is gambling.
Now, let my brothers and friends take
warning. [ killed w. F. Bruner because
| didn't think he was fit to live and now
L Will make an attempt on my life, so
goodbye, my father, brother and Sister
and friends and relations. All take
warning. Goodbye.
CHARLES B. BRowNFIELD."
Charles B. Brownfeld was about 80
years of age and was very dissipated.
He caused his father, Squire Brownfeld,
a magistrate, and highly respected old
gentleman, much trouble. He was
mechanic and worked in the shops of
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in

An aged, gray-haired and gray-whisk-

himself to be man with plenty of funds.
He then displayed draft from the bank
of Lebanon, Tenn, on a New York

hour later the old man could not be
found, but it was learned that he had
purchased a ticket to Omaha. The

Curious Names i'm New Jersey.

"Give me through ticket to Para
disc" said Gentleman to a. ticket
agent on the Delaware River Railroad.
This is one of the striking names that
New Jersey furnishes among her list
OF villages and towns. IF the traveller
should not be pleased with such a
destination he may go to Hell's
Kitchen if he likes, which is in Ocean
County.
New Jersey has more duplicates in
the names of her towns than any
other state in the Union. When the
postal ute reaches them a change
has to be made, as in the case of
Ridgewood, which took the choice
and pleasant name of Glen Ridge,
while Ridgewood, in Bergen County,
retained it's original. Four Marlbor-
oughs and five Bethels are among the
names still retained.
Ii you desire g. place OF residence
with an amusing name you cannot 60
amiss in New Jersey. You can live in
Whiskey Lane, Ragtown, Reckless
town, Tumble, Comical Corner, Dou-
bic Trouble, Bum Tavern, Tattle-
to VA, Brass Castle, Scrabbletown, or
Pickleville. If you weary in the trou-
BILE of selection, drop in on Feeble
town. Newark was once Milford and
Trenton Settleworth. Bordenton,
which is century and q half old,
takes it's name from Joseph Borden,
an early settler and distinguished
citizen. Jacobeen Mey, seven
teen5h-century sailor, gave his name
to delightful Cape Nav

discovered that two we'll developed
cases of leprosy exist in the city, but
owing to the obstinacy of DR.. Van Hart
ingen, a German physician, they cannot
be located. At recent meeting of the
board of health, Health Officer Ford
stated that two lepers had been SNUG
gled into the city and that the disease
was dangerously contagious. He re-
quested the board to search for them
and have them removed to an isolated
place. After diligent search, the health
officers discovered that the lepers are
under the care of DR.. Van Hartingen.
When the health officers visited him he
was emphatic in his refusal to give them

trance to the village the troops found
crowd of from so to 100 excited negroes
